(This is not a comment or a complaint about your postfix upgrade!)

Does anyone understand that larger story behind "Some (Linux)
distributions" removing Berkeley DB support?  Given widespread usage,
that seems surprising and feels unreasonable.  Are there some good
reasons I don't know about, or is it just a systemd/wayland thing?
